Established in 1989, Vinati Organics Ltd. is a specialty chemical company producing aromatics, monomers, polymers and other speciality products. Today, the company is a leader in its field and has a sturdy market presence in over 22 countries. VOL is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE), and has over 550 employees.
The company started operations in its first plant in Mahad in 1992, with its focus on Isobutyl Benzene (IBB). A decade later, in 2002, it started commercial production in its second plant in Lote Parshuram, producing 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane Sulphonic acid. VOL has remarkably enhanced the scope of its facilities and now also produces organic intermediates and aromatics.
IBB, a specialty organic intermediary, is used as a raw material for the manufacture of Ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory analgesic bulk drug. VOL has achieved a record purity level of 99.8% for IBB as against the prevailing international standards of 99.5%. Thus, it has become a reliable supplier for leading producers of Ibuprofen across the world.
2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane Sulphonic acid, a specialty monomer finds several applications in oil-field recovery, water treatment, acrylic fibre manufacturing, adhesives, personal care products, medical hydrogel, mining industry, coatings and as dispersing and flocculating agents. Superior technology and strategic capacity expansion plans have made VOL the world’s largest manufacturer of both 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane Sulphonic acid and IBB.
VOL has earned distinction of being the only specialty chemicals company in the world to be backward integrated. In June 2010, the company successfully started producing Isobutylene (IB), one of the key components used to manufacture 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid. Apart from being used internally, IB is also sold to agrochemical and antioxidant industry.
